Everything we’d tell you in the first hour.
Forty-odd pages of the things we say on repeat: the timeline, the budget model, the venue questions, and the running order from a real wedding. Written for people planning it themselves — including the ones who then decide they’d rather not.
What’s in it
- One
The eighteen-month timeline
What has to happen when, and — more usefully — what genuinely doesn’t have to happen yet. Four pages.
- Two
A budget that survives contact
The thirteen lines every wedding budget has, what each one really costs at 40, 90 and 150 guests, and where the money quietly leaks.
- Three
Forty questions to ask a venue
Including the eleven that reveal whether the price you were quoted is the price you will pay.
- Four
Choosing suppliers
How to read a photographer’s portfolio, what a caterer’s tasting doesn’t tell you, and the two clauses worth arguing about in any contract.
- Five
The wedding-day running order
A real one, annotated — the document fifteen suppliers work from, and why speeches go before dinner.
- Six
The final week, and the box
What to do in the last seven days, and the list of things to put in a box that has saved every wedding we’ve ever run.
One email with the guide, then one a month you can leave at any time. We don’t sell the list. There is nothing to sell it to.
